ISIS attack kills Iraqi police officer near Kirkuk
An Iraqi police officer was killed in an attack claimed by or attributed to ISIS near the northern city of Kirkuk. The incident underscores that the group's remnants continue to carry out deadly assaults on security personnel in rural and contested areas of Iraq, despite the territorial defeat of its self-declared caliphate in 2017. Officials have not detailed the circumstances of the attack.
Why now: Ongoing ISIS activity against Iraqi security forces keeps drawing attention to persistent insecurity in the Kirkuk region.
